Trailhead to Utah

The Museum as your Trailhead to Utah

The Trailhead to Utah is an innovative technology-based, way-finding system through the Natural History Museum of Utah's galleries. We aim to connect our visitors to concepts in natural history, our expansive collection and serve as your "trailhead" to explorations of the natural wonders throughout the state.

Find your own way through the galleries, using your smartphone as your guide. You'll learn more of the secrets of Utah's ecosystems, fossil record, and native cultures, its water and energy cycles, and the forces that shape and sustain life here. And you'll discover your own place in this diverse and dynamic state.
